Project description:Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) are caused by inactivating mutations in TSC1 or TSC2, leading to mTORC1 hyperactivation. The mTORC1 inhibitors rapamycin and analogs (rapalogs) are approved for treating of TSC and LAM. Due to their cytostatic and not cytocidal action, discontinuation of treatment leads to tumor regrowth and decline in pulmonary function. Therefore, life-long rapalog treatment is proposed for the control of TSC and LAM lesions, which increases the chances for the development of acquired drug resistance. Understanding the signaling perturbations leading to rapalog resistance is critical for the development of better therapeutic strategies. We developed the first Tsc2-null rapamycin-resistant cell line, ELT3-245, which is highly tumorigenic in mice, and refractory to rapamycin treatment. In vitro ELT3-245 cells exhibit enhanced anchorage-independent cell survival, resistance to anoikis, and loss of epithelial markers. A key alteration in ELT3-245 is increased β-catenin signaling. We propose that a subset of cells in TSC and LAM lesions have additional signaling aberrations, thus possess the potential to become resistant to rapalogs. Alternatively, when challenged with rapalogs TSC-null cells are reprogrammed to express mesenchymal-like markers. These signaling changes could be further exploited to induce clinically-relevant long-term remissions.

Project description:Rationale: Increased matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). Objectives: To investigate how TSC1 or TSC2 deficiency alters MMP expression and regulation. Methods: We studied immortalized cells that lack TSC2 derived from an angiomyolipoma (AML) of a LAM patient, and a TSC2 add back derivative; and murine embryonic fibroblast cells that lack Tsc1 or Tsc2 and respective controls. Global gene expression analysis was carried out in the AML and derivative cell lines. MMP levels in the conditioned media from these cells were analyzed by zymography and ELISA. Measurements and Main Results: We found increased MMP-2 expression in cells lacking TSC1/TSC2 compared to their respective controls by zymography. MMP-2 overproduction by these cells was not affected by rapamycin treatment. Gene expression analysis confirmed increased MMP-2 gene expression that was not affected by rapamycin. Furthermore, multiple other genes were found to be over-expressed in rapamycin-treated TSC2-deficient cells compared to TSC2+ cells. Conclusions: We conclude that TSC1/TSC2 deficiency leads to MMP-2 overproduction that is rapamycin insensitive, and that several genes exhibit similar patterns suggesting TSC1/TSC2 dependent but mTOR independent pathways may be involved in the pathogenesis of LAM.

Project description:Aberrant activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a common molecular event in a large variety of pathological settings, including genetic tumor syndromes, cancer, and obesity. However, the cell intrinsic consequences of mTORC1 activation remain poorly defined. Here, we identify global trancriptional changes in TSC1 and TSC2 null MEFs, which exhibit constitutive activation of mTORC1, compared to wild-type littermate control lines. A rapamycin time course is included to determine those changes that are dependent on mTORC1 signaling, revealing mTORC1 induced and repressed transcripts. In order to identify mTORC1-dependent transcriptional changes, we compared wild-type MEFs to both Tsc1-/- and Tsc2-/- MEFs following serum starvation, where mTORC1 signaling is off in wild-type cells and fully active in TSC-deficient cells. All cell lines were serum-starved for 24 h, and the Tsc1-/- and Tsc2-/- cells were treated with a time course of rapamycin prior to the isolation of mRNA for microarray analysis. Immortalized wild-type (Tsc2+/+ p53-/-), Tsc1-/- (p53+/+, 3T3-immortalized), and Tsc2-/- (p53-/-, derived from a littermate of the wild-type cell line) MEFs are the three cell lines used in this study and were derived in the laboratory of David J. Kwiatkowski (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA). Wild-type and null MEFs were grown to 70% confluence in 10 cm plates and were serum starved for 24 h in the presence of vehicle (DMSO) for 24 h or rapamycin (20 nM) for 2, 6, 12, or 24 h. All vehicle-treated samples (0 h time points) were plated in triplicate and all rapamycin time course samples were plated in duplicate. For each replicate, expression analysis was performed by hybridization to an Affymetrix Mouse 430_2 oligonucleotide microarray chip.

Project description:Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations that inactivate TSC1 or TSC2. Hamartin and tuberin are encoded by TSC1 and TSC2 which form a GTPase activating protein heteromer that inhibits the Rheb GTPase from activating a growth promoting protein kinase called mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Growths and lesions occur in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ), cortex, olfactory tract, and olfactory bulbs (OB) in TSC. Here, nestin-CRE-ERT2 mice were injected with tamoxifen at postnatal days 2 and 3 and brains harvested at postnatal day 60. OBs were subsequently subjected to RNA sequencing.

Project description:Pulmonary Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease that affects predominantly women, is characterized by proliferation of smooth muscle-like cells in the lungs, destruction of lung tissue, upregulation of VEGF-D, and growth of lymphatic vessels inducing a loss of pulmonary function. TSC2 gene mutations that render TSC2 inactive are a common finding associated with LAM. To better understand the function of the TSC2 gene in LAM , we sought to characterize differences in the transcriptome of cells where TSC2 is inactivated. RNA-Seq was used to measure transcript expression differences between a human TSC2-null angiolipoma cell line derived from an individual with LAM, and the same cell line with re-expressed TSC2 to serve as a control. The Illumina TruSeq method was used to prepare poly(A)-selected stranded RNA-Seq libraries, and 100bp paired-end reads were generated with an Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 instrument in high output mode. RNA-Seq data was analyzed using kallisto (http://pachterlab.github.io/kallisto/) and R.
